Grenada Car Tax Calculator 2026

Grenada applies 15% VAT on goods and services, collected by the Inland Revenue Division. For imported vehicles, customs duties are calculated under the CARICOM Common External Tariff at rates ranging from 0% to 30% depending on vehicle type and classification.

As a member of CARICOM and OECS, Grenada participates in the regional trade framework that establishes common external tariffs for imports from non-member countries. Vehicles sourced from other CARICOM member states may qualify for reduced or zero duties under the CARICOM Trade Agreement.

The standard VAT rate of 15% applies to all vehicle purchases including those imported through customs. For imported vehicles, CARICOM CET customs duties are applied on the CIF value at rates ranging from 0% for some commercial categories to 30% for luxury vehicles.

Annual vehicle tax in Grenada is based on vehicle type and engine capacity, with rates set by the licensing authority. Right-hand drive vehicles are the norm as Grenada drives on the left.
